Abstract |
Endometrial ablation is an effective treatment for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The incidence of pregnancy after endometrial destruction is low and is reported to be 0.7%. We report what is to the best of our knowledge the first case of pregnancy after microwave endometrial ablation and review the outcomes of 74 pregnancies after various methods of endometrial destruction.
